It’s cold outside, but that does not mean your winter engagement photos have to be boring. This, my friends, is how you have fun with your e-pics in the winter. And, thankfully, we have a few outdoor skating rinks in town during winter!

What is fantastic about the idea of doing something for your engagement session, is that the photographer is truly able to capture real moments of interaction, as Sara mentions on her blog.

It’s a “Wedding Tree.” Have each of your guests place their thumbprint somewhere on the tree. Then, the happy couple can have it framed and put it in their home. The “Wedding Tree” is a great memento and a great guestbook alternative. It would probably work best with a smaller wedding, but if you have a hefty guest list, you could do a few different trees and have a collection of artwork for your house. It’s fun and different, and just plain awesome.

With Christmas this week, and my leaving for Florida on Wednesday, posting will be a bit light.

Anyway….

Feast your eyes on this beautiful set up! The lighting is gorgeous, and the venue is quaint and cozy. The chandeliers and candelabras were a fantastic way for them to dress up the space and create that vintage feel.
